Week 14: Green
This week I hiked up a hill at Idler's Rest, and the view was far more lovely than this picture captured. But it was the greenest picture I took all week.
;)
Wednesday
clinging red
The leaves have begun to fall, scattering themselves across the street, the sidewalk and my driveway. But some still hang to the trees, shining in their red and bright yellow and dull orange-brown shades. Fall is beautiful here in Moscow.
Friday
Moscow Mountain

The miracle of life
This is an amazing and informing video about babies, and, since it's sanctity-of-life week I thought I'd post it here.
Enjoy.

the moments that take your breath away
Tonight as I was driving home I heard this song by George Strait. Good song by the king of country music.
(And lyrics, for anyone interested.)
"The Breath You Take"
He looks up from second base, dad's up in the stands
He saw the hit, the run, the slide, there ain't no bigger fan
In the parking lot after the game
He said, "Dad, I thought you had a plane to catch?"
He smiled and said, "Yeah, son, I did"
But life's not the breath you take, the breathing in and out
That gets you through the day, ain't what it's all about
You just might miss the point trying to win the race
Life's not the breaths you take but the moments that take your breath away
Fast forward fifteen years and a thousand miles away
Boy's built a life, he's got a wife and a baby due today
He hears a voice saying, "I made it son"
Says, "I told you dad, you didn't have to come"
He smiles and says, "Yeah, I know you did"
But life's not the breath you take, the breathing in and out
That gets you through the day, ain't what it's all about
You just might miss the point trying to win the race
Life's not the breaths you take but the moments that take your breath away
Just like it took my breath when she was born
Just like it took my breath away when dad took his last that morn
Life's not the breath you take, the breathing in and out
That gets you through the day, ain't what it's all about
Just might miss the point if you don't slow down the pace
Life's not the breaths you take but the moments that take your breath away
